Actually, what is linked above is the original unhacked driver. My plan was to first test it with a few people before posting. Since then, I've gotten it working perfectly on a 1920x1080 LCD on my PowerMac 8500 with built-in video. Given the 4MB video limit of built-in video, any higher resolution wouldn't support 16-bit color (thousands), and this is already pushing the video clock a bit (about 146 MHz). I also hacked the IX-Micro TwinTurbo PCI card driver to allow the same (as well as 1680x1050).
